Last week the long awaited sequel to Call of Duty Modern Warfare was released -- COD Modern Warfare 2 probably has been one of the biggest anticipated PC game titles this year. This is Guru3D.com we...

I just want to see how 5870 in CrossfireX will gonna trash down GTX295 with Catalyst 9.12 and crossfire fixed.
As I see that only 1 5870 kicks really hard on an nvidia made for game. CrossfireX could be forgoten with actual drivers.

First you say how well it's going to perform when drivers are fixed, but then you say that they don't need to fix those drivers...

Lets see if ATI gets those drivers out before Nvidia has g300 out.

For 1 5870 a see that the performance is good but for crossfirex the scaling sucks. Cat. 9.12 will have to deliver better performance.
If you test STALKER COP with 5870 crossfire it roacks as this one is optimized for AMD/ATI.

It's because game doesn't have driver support. Renaming game to something else might help before new drivers are out. Dunno which exe name W@W has, but it should help.

Ofc those will improve performance, no doubt about it. I'm just wondering, when those drivers are out. If game isn't very different from COD4 or W@W, then quite soon I think, if they need to actually fix something, then it may take longer.

Oh and to the Crossfire remarks, yes ... ATI needs a new driver for better optimizations as scaling is off. Only in 2560x1600 you'll notice a performance increase, the rest of the score goes down to some sort of CPU bottleneck (two GPUs require more CPU cycles than one single GPU) This is the reason why I only included so very few SLI / Crossfire results. As you can see, we immediately run into some minor issues.

For now try to focus on the single cards graphics performance. Later on once NVIDIA's and ATI's drivers are optimized withy proper profiles, of course we'll add the many multi-GPU scores in our reviews and perhaps update this article as well.

yea ati definitely needs a driver release..4870x2 is scoring the same or within a few fps of a 4870 or even losing to it..definitely not right but we all know this and cant wait to see an update of it ..
